Film simulation recipe for X-Trans IV with a strong warm colour shift
Summer of 76
Here in the UK, the Summer of ’76 was one of the hottest and driest on record. I was a young boy then, but I have memories of the shimmering haze over just about everything, and feeling hot day and night. There were water shortages and the surface of the roads began to melt.
Here’s a glowing warm film recipe, wonderfully salmon toned in the late afternoon light. It’s based on Classic Negative, and has a wild 7, -9 colour shift. I was tempted to use -5 clarity, but I found that -2 was enough to give a gentle hazy summer feel.
